Hi! I have playtested the game with 1-4 players and came up with some suggestions. (Version 0.99d) Thanks for making this very cool map!

With 2-4 players, the game can lag on slow computers. When it lags, if you use a screen shake ability, the screen shakes so badly that the game becomes unplayable and even drops players because lag is so bad. I'm not sure why this happens since single player screen shake is very little.

This has made the game completely unplayable with 3+ players and still happens with 2 players sometimes. I recommend a quick fix so people can test your map.

Second suggestion is to disable pets and summons movement collision. The movement is already clunky, and having things following you around constantly blocking your movement is very frustrating. Even the hawk pet blocks you to death sometimes.

Here are also some small suggestions:

Maybe increase the item pickup range just a little. Sometimes items fall into trees and can't be picked up.

Camera is maybe zoomed in a little too much? Can only see 2-3 meters south on a widescreen display. Skill bar blocks a lot.

Some skills don't say if they do physical or magical damage. It's unclear how to scale their damage.

You can zoom in/out camera by using up/down arrow keys

"Some skills don't say if they do physical or magical damage. It's unclear how to scale their damage."
All skills of archer and knight deals physic damage. Exception if there written "magic damage" in the tooltips.
